How to add the Quickmail block to your course
If you're an instructor and you'd like to add the Quickmail block to your course, here's how.
Turning editing on: Navigate to the main course page, click the gear in the top right corner, and click Turn editing on.
With editing turned on, click on Add a block at the bottom of the nav drawer on the left side of the screen.
From the list of available blocks that appears, click on Quickmail. (note that blocks already in use will not appear here, so if you don't see the Quickmail block then perhaps it's already in the course)
The Quickmail block will be visible on the right-side of the main course page. You can move the Quickmail block up or down by dragging on the four-arrow button shown below (editing must be turned on). After dragging the block to where you want it, reload the page to ensure that it stays there. If after reloading the block is not where you want it again, try dragging the other blocks into place and reload again.
How Quickmail works
Quickmail enables you to email other course participants from within your course. If Quickmail is in your course it will look like this:
Click on Compose New Email to create your email and History to view sent messages.
To compose an email select either a team or an individual from the list and click Add and then type your message. You can also add additional email addresses, and attachments if you wish.
Click Send Email at the bottom or Cancel if you change your mind. You can choose whether you receive a copy of the email or not.
